I think that moment for me was when I learned that the Mansion regulars included Don Adams, Chuck McCann, and the guy who played Carlin on the Bob Newhart show. A-listers all!

What percentage of people even likes comedy? My friends are all intelligent, funny people, but I only really have one friend who regularly watches sitcoms, and his taste runs towards the stuff I consider lazy (Family Guy, TBBT). Again, he's got a great sense of humor, he just doesn't want to work for his laughs.
And…

Isn't this more properly titled "Bands that replaced their lead singers after they were no longer relevant"?

Those candy orange slices. Not the fancy individually wrapped ones that sort of taste like fruit, I'm talking about the ones that taste like nothing but chemicals and sugar. And they have to be a little stale.
Chunky. I know, raisins, but I like the chocolate.
Reese's, but only the miniatures or the Big Cups. The other…

I think it's more a cultural thing than a religious one. In a lot of cultures the devil's almost a figure of fun, a mischief maker and trickster who will push you down a flight of stairs, not make your eyeballs bleed. I was raised Catholic and the Exorcist didn't scare me much at all. I made the same connection the…

I read the book after seeing the movie, and while I definitely agree the film has problems, I wouldn't put "variation from the book" near the top of the list. In fact, the larger problem to me was the decision to at least pay lip service to some elements of the novel ("This is Duncan Idaho, he's… well, never mind,…

It's part of my Sunday morning routine, hungover or not. I like a big breakfast on Sundays, and a big part of L&O's appeal is that never puts me off eating (sure, there's some murder, but it's dealt with mostly offscreen). TV that doesn't kill your appetite is getting to be pretty scarce.
And it has to be the…

They also owe a big chunk of their success to one Rush Limbaugh

Every time I hear a song that has that structure of a verse ending with "..and she said..[chorus]" I always wish there was a second voice saying "Really? we just went over this, do you think I'm hard of hearing?".
And that song structure was EVERYWHERE in the 70's. Now you only hear it in country music, in those few…

I've got Epic Fantasy Fatigue Syndrome from the Jackson movies, but I might be up for a small scale adventure flick. A caper movie with wizards, if you will.

Well, he is a Cubs fan.

My favorite Shakespeare adaptation. Branagh crushes it. He's never come close to this level again.
I grew up hearing about Olivier's version; how it meant so much during the war and all that, but I didn't see it until after I'd seen this, and it just didn't compare. Olivier's version of the Crispin's Day speech seems…

"The elevators were broken, room service was slow, and the bell boy had no face. ZERO STARS!"

His weird fake smile and the way he cocked his head reminded me of Dave Foley in any sketch where he played a smug asshole.

{Travels back to 1905, murders Philo T Farnsworth's dad}

I'd try explaining to my mom that I really liked The Cars' "Let's Go", but I don't think she believed me.

It's not that prophetic

Where are the morality police? The guy conducted a pretty public affair with Marla Maples. Don't get me wrong, I don't care about that stuff (much), but we've thrown out better candidates for less in the past

I fear they're going to take all of this too seriously, judging by the tone of the trailer. I liked the show best when it poked some fun at itself. Something like "Jose Chung's From Outer Space" probably wouldn't work in a limited series, but the MOTW episodes at least left some room for a little goofiness.
The…

I hope everytime Kutcher's character introduces himself to anyone, they laugh and say "No, seriously…."
